John Mellencamp – “Cherry Bomb”
It’s a hot summer night in the country (or city), the convertible top is down and we’re out cruisin’ with our loved one up beside us. On the radio, the Soothing the Beast BFP/Jamiol music pick has just come on and it’s John Mellencamp singing his hit Cherry Bomb…just song for the night and the July 4th weekend. So turn up the decibels and take a cruise down the road with Mellancamp’s Cherry Bomb…enjoy…DJPJ
Well I lived on the outskirts of town
In a eight room farmhouse, baby
When my brothers and friends were around
There was always somethin’ doin’
Had me a couple of real nice girlfriends
Stopped by to see me every once in while
When I think back about those days
All I can do is sit and smile
That’s when a smoke was a smoke
And groovin’ was groovin’
And dancin’ meant everything
We were young and we were improvin’
Laughin’, laughin’ with our friends
Holdin’ hands meant somethin’ baby
Outside the club, cherry bomb
Our hearts were really thumpin’
Say yeah yeah yeah
Say yeah yeah yeah
The winter days they last forever
But the weekends went by so quick
Went ridin’ around this little country town
We were goin’ nuts, girl, out in the sticks
One night, me with my big mouth
A couple guys had to put me in my place
When I see those guys these days
We just laugh and say do you remember when
Chorus
Say yeah yeah yeah
Say yeah yeah yeah
Seventeen has turned thirty-five
I’m surprised that we’re still livin’
If we’ve done any wrong
I hope that we’re forgiven
Got a few kids on my own
And some days I still don’t know what to do
I hope that they’re not laughin’ too loud
When they hear me talkin’
Like this to you
Chorus
